Sebastian Gorka, Former Deputy Assistant to President Trump

Sebastian Gorka served as deputy assistant to President Donald Trump for much of 2017 and continues to be an outspoken supporter of the president’s agenda. Currently, Gorka works as a national security strategist for Fox News. Since his emergence on the political stage, his controversial nationalist views have seen a resurgence across the western world.

In his book Why We Fight, Gorka asserts that if America wants to succeed in the war on terror, we need a clear, unifying doctrine. He believes willful ignorance about our adversary—whether it’s Russia, China or the global jihadi movement—has crippled America and our will to fight outside threats.

Join us for a conversation with this provocative figure who worked for Trump and continues to influence global affairs.
